Steam scares me. The 30% cut isn't the thing that scares me though. What scares me is that the lack of a monthly subscription fee on top of that is not because of any legal framework that says steam can't charge an exorbitant monthly access fee. The lack of the fee is due to Gabe Newell being more or less a benevolent dictator. One day steam will be bought out by private capital that seeks to massively increase returns. The 'just buy it on steam so it's in your steam list' will inevitably one day be a curse not a blessing.
